hi, I have this look like shredded paper insulation all over my roof space, I think they are call cellulose fibre. I tried to remove it by normal vacuum but it's going real slow. Anyone has any idea how to remove it? I call a insulation specialist and he wants A$1800 just to remove them… that's too much for me..
They use a large super sucker – so there is a huge plant/machinery cost plus they provide the labour. Even if you get a big wet/dry vacuum from the hire place it will still be very slow. (Your ceiling is probably 100 m2+ x 75 mm of insulation – that's about 7-8 cubic metres of material and your vaccuum holds 10 litres if you are lucky ( ie 700+ vacuum cleaners).
If you want to wear a dust suit & a hepa mask, grab your garden blower vacuum (it has a bit more capacity but it will be very dusty). Otherwise, bite the bullet and get it done properly.
